You must hit your assailant in order to injure him. You must strike your
opponent with sufficient force to incapacitate him. You must strike him
quickly, so your opponent does not injure you before you injure him.

The Bullet Is Mightier Than The Gun
A firearm is any loaded weapon from which a shot, readily
capable of producing death or other serious physical injury,
may be discharged.
Therefore, an unloaded gun is a paperweight.
Without rounds, your gun is not a tool of defense and can
not help you to fight back effectively against heinous acts.

The Countdown
If the number of rounds you have = how much fight you
have left, then counting down to zero should be treated the
same as letting a time-bomb go off.
Never shoot to empty unless you absolutely have to!!!
Your Speed Reload should happen with the slide down.

Tactical & RWR Reloads
Tactical Reload
Reload With Retention
Used when there is a lull in the action
but the threat still exists.
Used when there is a lull in the action
and the threat has subsided.
You should be behind cover and
concealment.
You should be behind cover and
concealment.
Uses the same technique as the
speed load except you retain the
magazine.
Bring the spare magazine up to your
gun between your two middle fingers
and swap then.
Same technique as Tactical Reload
except you perform the reload while
in a retention ready position.
Stow away the magazine in the gun
first, then load in the spare.

Stopping Power
This is a misnomer as it depends first on your definition of
stopping someone from attacking you.
An assailant who voluntarily ceases the attack from the
mere display of a firearm has nothing to do with the caliber
of the gun used.
Shot placement means everything when discussing the
effectiveness of incapacitation.
NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
EDUCATION & TRAINING DIVISION
25
6/12/2013
However…
Every round has a maximum capability of incapacitation,
and therefore requires a standard response.
A standard response is what you deliver once the flag is
flown that you must shoot.
You deliver a standard response with defensive accuracy
every time you decide to shoot. If you decide more
shooting is necessary, you deliver another standard
response.

Keep In Mind
Handguns are woefully inadequate in their effectiveness to
incapacitate a highly dedicated attacker by relying on
center-of-mass, defensive accuracy.
We only carry handguns because of their convenience in
keeping ourselves armed in our daily lives.
Generally, the more convenient a gun is to carry, the more
shots are involved in its standard response.

Standard Responses
“Large Caliber” (.45, .44 and .357 Magnum, or 10mm) Two quick hits into the upper center chest.
“Medium Caliber” (.40, 9mm, or .38 Special) - Same as
Large Caliber but also be prepared to deliver a quick
follow-up shot between the mouth and eyes.
“Sub-caliber” (.22, .32, or .380) - Three or four quick hits to
the upper center chest OR two quick hits between the
mouth and eyes.

Shoot To Stop
Never shoot to warn or maim.
Every “shot” should be with purpose and according to how
you trained.
Assessment of the threat happens in between your
standard responses.
If the threat stops before, during, or after shooting, you
successfully countered the attack.
